Suspected Islamist militants stormed a village in northeast Nigeria on Saturday, killing several people and torching houses close to where more than 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped two months ago. Clad in military uniforms, the attackers raided Koronginim in a convoy of sport utility and military vehicles. Koronginim is in Nigeria’s remote Borno state, the birthplace of a five-year-old insurgency by Boko Haram militants, bent on carving out an Islamist caliphate in religiously-mixed Nigeria.
